Chapter 055: The Wang family is coming

Because the fire of the Zhao family was discovered early and the people put it out in time, the fire did not spread, and the loss to the Zhao family was not too great, except for the courtyard near the peony garden, the other main courtyards, side courtyards and gardens were not affected.

The damage was the worst, and only a few of Zhao Tianqing's yards, especially the peony garden, were almost burned to a pile of ruins.

So much so that a month later, Zhao Tianqing, who was easily released from the Yaodu County Ya Prison, returned home with his sick and crooked body, and saw the scorched yellow and unrecognizable wife and concubine in the hospital, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, and passed out on the spot.

Subsequently, after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, Zhao Tianqing woke up again after three days of coma, but he learned that his warehouse had been seized and auctioned by the Confucian Chamber of Commerce, and the other shops under his name had all been confiscated to pay off their debts.

It's a pity that Zhao Tianqing is far from being as lucky as the first time this time. After all, he first stayed in the prison for a month in fear, tossing his otherwise healthy body half to death, and then received a series of fatal blows, Rao is a strong-hearted person can't stand it.

What's more, Zhao Tianqing is not a tough guy in the first place, especially when he heard that all the property he regarded as a treasure was given to his old enemy, it was like digging out his heart and liver, and he fell asleep for half a month before he opened his eyes, and after waking up, the whole person was also wasted, his body was weak, he was bedridden all the year round, and he lived every day guarding the medicine jar.

Wang Qifang didn't know about this, and she only learned about it from Mama Zhao's mouth afterwards.

"Oh, speaking of which, the girl Zisu is also a poor person, she did everything possible to conceive a child, and she carefully didn't even dare to eat indiscriminately to protect the child until she gave birth, but the stable woman who was bought by the Su family forcibly killed the child in the womb." Mama Zhao sat on the low floor at Wang Qifang's feet, and when she talked about the perilla she used to hate so much that she gritted her teeth, she couldn't help but show her complexion, and her tone was a little pitiful, and said: "That's a little Langjun, a little person, covered in black and black, and Zisu cried to death on the spot." Later, I heard that even if the child was not killed by Wen Po, he would not be able to survive after birth, and it was said that he had poison in the womb......"

"Poison? Could it be that someone drugged? ”

Wang Qifang's impression of perilla is very vague, and the only clear memory is that when she was in Qingzhou, she wore a gorgeous dress and a delicate falling ponytail, full of youth and beauty. Unexpectedly, in just a few years of hard work, that once radiant and fresh woman ended up like this.

"But no, I heard that Aunt Zheng gave her a jade Guanyin through Zhao Tianqing, saying that she would incense the Bodhisattva every day to keep their mother and son safe, and the result——"

Mama Zhao shook her head, and when she thought of the vicious woman, she gritted her teeth and said: "Retribution, retribution, Aunt Zheng killed the Su family's child, and calculated Zisu's son, but as a result, she didn't leave anything good, she was burned alive by Zisu's fire, and she barely picked up a life, but she became a monster who is not a human or a ghost." Su Shi was stronger than her, but his throat was damaged by smoke. Only Shisu, thinking that he had taken revenge, rushed to the backyard and jumped into the well, alas, pitiful! ”

Wang Qifang also sighed and said with emotion: "Yes, I really didn't expect Shisu to be so strong...... After this fire, presumably Zhao Tianqing's house will also fall. By the way, something so big happened to the Su family, how did Princess Jingwei react? ”

"She?" Mama Zhao snorted coldly and pursed her lips disdainfully, "She is busy with the flowering paper banquet and recruiting talented Junyan, and Su and the horses have been thrown aside, where can she take care of the Su family, who has no use value?!" ”

Although the folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, there are still requirements for women, and no one can look down on the women of water-based poplars. Even if this person is a princess, Mama Zhao still looks down on her debauchery of hooking up with her husband behind her back.

"Flower Paper? Hehe, it's only been suppressed for a few years, and Princess Jingwei is alive again? Wang Qifang has participated in the flower paper banquet and has also seen Princess Jingwei's methods, but she is still a little puzzled, Emperor Longqing has made it clear that he will let the Zheng family be more restrained, after three years, and in the sensitive period when major changes have just occurred in the capital, how can Princess Jingwei dare to test the emperor's bottom line of tolerance?

Could it be that there is going to be some new battle in Kyori?

"Who says it's not, the old slave heard that unlike the previous flower paper banquet, now Princess Jingwei not only invites the ladies in Beijing, but also invites some famous scholars and new people to participate in the banquet from time to time. The current princess's mansion is probably full of traffic and lively. ”

Mama Zhao lives in the outer city and is well-informed, and she knows many rumors and legends in the market very well.

As Mama Zhao said, Princess Jingwei's mansion is holding a monthly flower paper banquet at the moment.

Cui Yunniang participated for the first time, she wore a scarlet dress, peony flowers on the cloud bun, holding a fan embroidered with butterflies and flowers on plain silk, sitting in the pavilion elegantly and reservedly, listening to other ladies talk about the latest gossip in the capital.

"Hey, have you heard of it, yesterday the prince accepted a side concubine again, and it is said that she is the little lady of the Zheng family." Lady A covered her mouth with a fan and said in a low voice.

"Hey, what's so strange about this, the Zheng family lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of young and beautiful little ladies." The noble lady Yi threw off her veil and complained with a little disdain, speaking in her heart, everyone in the capital knows that the Zheng family is rich and noble by women, and the big family doesn't want to do something serious and make contributions, and every day they think about stuffing their daughters into other people's homes as concubines, how can such a family be looked down upon?

"But no, I heard that a few days ago, Concubine Zheng Guifei wanted to give her cousin to Master Li Meng as a partial room, but was politely rejected by the Duchess of Guo. Hey, Fourth Lady, you are the cousin of the leader of the Li League, you should have heard of this. As she spoke, she suddenly saw that Cui Yunniang was also here, so she asked curiously, "Mrs. Li is telling Niangniang true, is it true that Master Li is really a wife?" ”

"Huh?" Cui Yunniang was excited when she heard it, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the topic would be on herself, she smiled a little shyly, and said reservedly: "When my aunt entered the palace, Yun Niang was not around, so I don't know what my aunt said to my mother." However, the master of the Temple of Mercy and Grace did say that his cousin's life was strange and that it was not appropriate to marry early. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Yunniang seemed to suddenly realize that she was still an unmarried little lady, and she should not talk about these things with a group of married women, two blushes suddenly rose on her round and fair face, and she said timidly: "My aunt has been invited by Princess Jingwei for a long time, and she hasn't come back yet, Yun Niang is a little worried about her aunt and wants to go and see." Ladies and gentlemen, talk slowly! ”

With that, Cui Yunniang Yingying stood up, bowed slightly, and then left the pavilion.

"Shouldn't you marry early? Heh~, Li Mengzhu is about to be thirty, it shouldn't be too late to marry now. After listening to Cui Yunniang's vague explanation, Lady A laughed out loud and teased: "Ke's wife will say Ke's wife, what kind of life is strange?" ”

"Isn't it, if Lord Li is a wife, isn't Mrs. Wang okay?" Lady B obviously didn't believe the nonsense of these charlatans, and retorted with a clear attitude.

"Hey, a while ago, Mrs. Wang was imprisoned and forced to pay debts by the bank, and she was happy to donate two large properties to the imperial court...... Where's the good? If you become a relative, don't forget that Li Mengzhu's previous fiancée passed away not long before they got married. ”

Lady A was obviously dissatisfied with Lady B's questioning of her own point of view, and counted Wang Qifang's recent bad luck on her fingers.

"That's not the case, Mrs. Wang is willing to donate her property, it is to redeem her father and brother, and it is not the business of Li Mengzhu at all. Hey, speaking of which, have you heard, Mrs. Wang's father, Mr. Wang, is making jokes again! ”

Lady C has a talent for gossip, and as soon as she finished talking about Li Jingtian's wife, she immediately thought of his future father-in-law.

"What joke? Could it be that you are going to the recreation square to play the singer again? ”

The capital is so big, and there are so many new things, so it is still those bad things.

"Look, you're outdated, Master Wang has long stopped playing children's songs, and now he's betting on polo." Seeing that she was more informed than other ladies, the noble lady couldn't help but be a little proud, covered her lips with her white and chubby hands, and sneered: "Two days ago, Master Wang lost his bet on polo, and he had no money in his hand, so he borrowed a loan shark from the polo field to continue gambling, but he was unlucky, and lost all three bets in a row, and was finally escorted by the owner of the polo field to his son to ask for an account. Hey, the eldest son was worried about running out of errands, but he helped Lao Tzu pay off the debts every day, and the account of Kangle Fang had just been repaid, and he was paid off the gambling account. ”

"Sizzle~~ This old man Wang is too unreliable, because he is still a child of a family, he is really more cheeky than the scoundrels in the market."

"The old ones are indeed a bit outrageous, but the small ones are not necessarily pitiful. Hmph, I see, maybe the eldest young master is so happy that he coaxes Lao Tzu not to do it. "There's a word for it, oh, yes, 'killing'. Lady B is not a closed woman, she knows a lot about some private affairs of the family, including the old grievances of the Qingyuan royal family.

If Wang Jinyu heard the words of the noble lady B, he would definitely give a thumbs up.

That's right, Wang Jinyu is indeed praising and killing, deliberately conniving, and even luring Wang Mingchuan to eat, drink, prostitute, and poison, this is still because Shi Wensong did not develop the poppy, otherwise, Wang Jinyu would actively encourage Lao Tzu to 'smoke'.

Only by turning Wang Mingchuan into a waste and being abandoned by the Wang family can Wang Jinyu avenge his mother more smoothly.

Once again, the casino owner who sent away the account, Wang Jinyu smiled extraordinarily brightly, he believed that Wang Mingchuan's notoriety would soon spread to Qingyuan, and then-

However, Wang Jinyu didn't expect the speed to be so fast, as soon as he closed the door, the people of the Wang family came up.
